Below are the projected starting lineups for each team playing on Thursday’s MLB slate. For real-time updates to these lineups, check out our Action Labs MLB lineups page.
Arizona Diamondbacks star Ketel Marte is projected out of the lineup for Thursday’s game against the Colorado Rockies. Marte left Wednesday’s 8-0 loss after injuring his leg while trying to beat out a throw to first base in the sixth inning. We project Tim Locastro to get the start in Marte’s place.
Be sure to stay tuned to the Action Labs MLB lineups page for the status of Marte and every player on Thursday’s slate.
